Psychoanalytic Inquiry

“[T]he magnificent here and now of life in the flesh is ours, and ours alone, and ours only for a time. We ought to dance with rapture that we should be alive and in the flesh, and part of the living incarnate cosmos.” (Lawrence, 1932, p. 200)

Watching Alexander Kluge in conversation with Hans Magnus Ellenberger examine whether one can write a poem about the capitalist economy, where they discuss the solid, liquid, and gaseous form that money takes, and am mourning the critical-theoretical spirit we have just lost.

"I don't want to stimulate anybody else into some particular direction. A particular direction ends in a cul-de-sac. We're in a cul-de-sac at present."—DH Lawrence, Why the Novel Matters

@proud_penelope We can participate in one another’s experience—our very lives as social animals depends on making regular enough intersubjective contact to coordinate and care for one another etc.. via affective attunement. But this sort of understanding is not a “once a done” sorta thing.

@psyainquiry Do we ever fully understand an other?

People who still say “The Patriarchy” unironically are not serious thinkers.

The most beautiful studio album closer of all time is “Find the River” on REM’s Automatic for the People.” I would love to hear other candidates (while warning that they’ll likely be deemed incorrect).

@scorps_art @souljagoyteller Conservatism IS Bob!

@souljagoyteller Lynch is deeply anti conservative lol. His whole thing is that conservatism is the disease that plagues Americana. He was definitely a libertarian tho. Like a real one not the MAGA 2 libertarians that run around nowadays

David Lynch is one of modern America’s greatest conservative artists but we’re not ready to have that conversation yet

"Before we name, we touch. We propose that the roots of language lie not in abstract, amodal symbols but in early bodily experience." Our Opinion paper is out in TICS. Congrats Luca Sergey Rinaldi !! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@AAJDeVille1 Unfortunately very true.

Fromm has never been more relevant.

“Why insist that knowing is a static relation out of time when it practically seems so much a function of our active life?” (James, 1996, p. 75).

“A life of afterwords begins. We never live long enough in our lives to know what today is like.” --John Ashbery

@proud_penelope "A mirror offers a poor substitute for the living other we meet who meets us. A peculiar inversion in reflected light, its image lacks all psychological reciprocity. It cannot have sympathy. It can only show us how we move."--Trevarthen, 2005.

@paranoiacs Choogling on a Yule-tide.

The thing we don't talk about enough regarding the Velvet Underground's 'Loaded' is that it choogles. Full on east-coast CCR cos-play. No apologies asked, no fucks given. Rolling down the East River.
